Free Sight Reading Workshops

Want to find out what it’s like singing with a big symphonic Chorus, but a bit nervous about whether you’ll cope?

Our next series of workshops will start on Tuesday 12 November 2019. We’re a very friendly choir, and will make everyone very welcome, whatever their level of ability. We’re especially keen to welcome tenors and basses who’s like to try us out – like most choirs we are short of men so we’d welcome you with open arms!

Come along at 6.20pm and get some free tuition, then join us for the rehearsal to see what it’s like. We’re rehearsing for our annual Christmas concerts and for Messiah, so you’ll be singing both a well-known oratorio and Christmas carols, both well-known and new ones, giving you a great introduction to the Chorus and how it works.

To find out more about these workshops, please call Sally Turnbull, our New Members Officer, on 01433 630970 or 07771 578233 or email *protected email*.

Sheffielders! I've come across a couple of nice ways to support other Sheffielders at the moment... face masks made by a local maker and sold by a local business, with 50% of profits going to the Samaritans https://sheffieldmakershuntersbar.com/collections/idle-sew-and-sew-face-masks #sheffield #sheffieldissuper

‘What has happened, in the midst of the tragedy & uncertainty of recent weeks, is a classic case of correlation being mistaken for causation; of hastily drawn opinions becoming established fact; of an industry being silenced on a false premise.’ https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2020/5-june/comment/opinion/it-is-time-to-sing-again

We are a living musical tradition that is almost 1,000 years old & proud to be part of the #EnglishChoralTradition. We should be hopeful for its future, as Psalm 46 reminds us, but prepared to positively and proactively protect it for generations to come
